Accreditations & Recognitions
“Our Business Programs are accredited by a CHEA-recognized accrediting body”
Welcome to Girne American University!
What is Accreditation?
Accreditation is an external quality control process confirming our established standards of excellence in education. Accreditation assures our students that they are receiving a high standard of education, transferability of education, and of eligibility for admission to graduate schools around the world.
We have high expectations of ourselves and our students and endeavour to raise our standards of education through the use of such external accrediting bodies. To measure how well we achieve those standards we undertake a range of assessment activities throughout the year, including continuous, confidential questionnaires. These assessments inform us on ways to continuously improve our curriculum and teaching methods. It is our goal that graduating students master the skills and knowledge of their area of studies and become contributing members of their communities after graduating from Girne American University.
At Girne American University we are proud of the many accreditations we hold, and the ones that are still forthcoming. We continuously strive to ensure our students are receiving a top-rate education.
Please come by and visit our office. Our door is always open to hear how we can improve your experience and education while at GAU. Also, feel free to email us at elif@gau.edu.tr
I look forward to seeing you soon on campus.
